THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND STRAIN RATE ON ELONGATION TO FAILURE IN NANOSTRUCTURED AL-0.2WT% ZR ALLOY FABRICATED BY ARB PROCESS

The effect of temperature and strain rate on elongation to failure in nanostructured Al-0.2wt% Zr alloy fabricated by ARB process

A nano/ultra-fine grain Al-0.2wt% Zr alloy was produced by accumulated roll bonding (ARB) processafter 10 cycles.The fraction of high angle grain boundaries increased from Lipstick 8% to 65.4% during 10passes during ARB process.This alloy was subjected to tensile test at different temperatures (523,573and 623 K) and strain rates (0.1 and 0.01 s-1).

Assessing the impact of early warning and evacuation on human losses during the 2021 Ahr Valley flood in Germany using agent-based modelling

Between 12 Shorts and 19 July 2021, a quasi-stationary atmospheric low-pressure system named Bernd caused intense precipitation on already-saturated soil, resulting in severe flooding in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.The Ahr Valley in Rhineland-Palatinate was particularly affected, with approximately 42 000 residents impacted, around 8800 b
